Things were going really well for Breeze, our audience was growing, the format was right, the music was spot on, the sales guys were selling and the advertisers were buying .... but big changes were on the way.

Essex Radio was transferred to another Daily Mail interest, we became part of GWR, and Breeze was to become part of the Classic Gold network ... it was time to get out, but not before watching the new owners battle with a very bad press - it was nothing to do with me - but I did enjoy watching their discomfort from a distance. They were always going to win the battle - but they certainly had to fight for it.
